Bassoon reeds, bassoons, accessories and advice

Musson Bassoon Reeds was established by the late Peter Musson and wife Joanna in 1979. Peter had many decades of experience as a professional bassoonist. His knowledge and expertise, combined with the finest German reed-making equipment, resulted in the steady production of high quality bassoon reeds for many customers around the world.

Musson Bassoon Reeds are fully manufactured in Brisbane, Australia, from tube cane right through to the finished product.

“I now realise I have been compensating and making allowances for the bassoon for a long time – it’s so much easier to play since Peter’s overhaul. It is simply a delight to play again – and its responsiveness is so immediate.”

David Whitbread, Aeolus Wind Trio, Canberra

“I am very pleased with the work you have done on my Fox bassoon. High register is as it should be with a rich dark tone that projects well, as is the lower register with rich low notes coming easily. The keywork is now quiet whilst I play. The key heights are very good for my small hands and once again well matched with a good feel. I would recommend you to any other bassoonists for your excellent workmanship as well as your care and consideration for the deadline given to finish the job.”

Ross Nicholson, South Australian Police Band

“I trust Peter to take care of my Heckel and wouldn’t send it to anyone else in Australia. It’s good to have someone who really understands about bassoons”

Leah Stephenson, Adelaide Symphony Orchestra

“Awesome! I had no idea how badly my bassoon needed an overhaul. I am so very happy with it now.”

Fiona Hooper, Australian Army Band

“Before Peter serviced my Puchner bassoon, I was really struggling with intonation and some aspects of technique. Peter was able to adjust my instrument so it was much easier and more consistent in these areas. I particularly liked how he adjusted the height of my vent keys. Overall it felt like I was playing a new instrument!”

Claire Ramuscak, Australian National AcademyWinner 2005 National Double Reeds Gold Challenge
